Any time is a great time to start a backyard composting program. Composting yard waste, such as leaves and grass, creates a rich soil amendment that provides valuable nutrients for your yard. It also saves valuable space at the landfill.

You can purchase a bin at our office (cash or check). The Solid Waste Division is located in the Development Services Building at 5 County Complex Court, Suite 250. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 703-792-4670.

Grasscycling

Instead of bagging up valuable nutrients and sending them to the landfill, consider grasscycling. When you grasscycle, you leave grass clippings on the lawn to decompose naturally. Grasscycling improves the overall quality of your lawn and can provide the nutrient equivalent of up to one fertilizer application. In addition, grasscycling also saves time and water because the clippings help to hold moisture on your lawn.
